Mental (Behavioral) Health
Everyone reacts to stress and traumatic experiences differently. While some have reactions that can be seen as normal responses to life events, others may experience signs or symptoms of more serious conditions.
Mental health and substance use conditions can affect anyone;
you are not alone. The Military Health System has many resources available to help those who need it.
If you or someone you know needs support now you can call the Military Crisis Line. From a cellphone, call 00800 1273 8255, or from a DSN line dial 0 for the base operator and ask to be connected to the Military Crisis Line. You can also start an online chat by going to the
Veterans Crisis Line website.
